PolitiFact.com Tracks Obama's Campaign Promise Follow Through

PolitiFact.com, a Web site run by the staff of the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times, is keeping track of whether President Barack Obama is keeping his campaign promises and rating the truth of statements made by members of Congress and political groups.

The project was recently awarded the Pulitzer Prize in national reporting.

To gauge how President Obama has done in following through on his campaign promises during his first 100 days, NewsHour reporter Samara Thery spoke with Bill Adair, PolitiFact's editor and the Washington bureau chief for the Times.

Listen to Adair discuss how the project got started, what promises President Obama has -- and hasn't -- kept and how the editorial process works for the "Obameter."
